Decision brief

Starcoder, under Apache-2.0 license, provides tools for installation and usage of StarCoder, supporting both fine-tuning and inference processes.

Good fit when

When you need to perform inference tasks on a model that can be managed within hardware constraints such as FP16 or BF16 formats in about 30GB of RAM
If your project requires detailed setup instructions using conda, for environments needing specific versions of PyTorch compatible with CUDA

Avoid when

Avoid if your environment lacks resources and you cannot meet the minimum memory requirement even in an 8-bit precision mode which needs under 20GB RAM
If you seek a tool that does not rely heavily on setup instructions guided by specific frameworks such as Hugging Face Transformers or PyTorch
